Burlington police have taken out warrants and are searching for a third suspect involved in a shooting Oct. 24 near Whitsett.

Jameson Keith Oliver, 43, known to have lived in Burlington and Greensboro, will be charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and one count each of attempted armed robbery and felonious breaking and entering.

Police said attempts to find Oliver have been unsuccessful.

Oliver is one of three suspects police have identified as being a part of an attempted armed robbery and shooting that morning at Woodspring Apartments, off Springwood Church Road in Burlington.

Edgar Elijah Stanback, 38, of Oak Street in Greensboro died later that day of a gunshot wound received during the incident. William Donald Vance III, 44, of Greensboro also was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and one count each of attempted armed robbery and felonious breaking and entering. Lt. Brian Long of the Burlington Police Department said the three acted together in the incident.

“The investigation indicated that these three people — Stanback, Vance, who we’ve charged, and Oliver, who we’re seeking to charge — all had information about this incident and acted in concert,” he said.

Others possibly were involved, he said, and the investigation is ongoing.

The shooting took place about 10:35 a.m. in apartment 203 at 7650 Woodspring Drive in Burlington.

According to Charlie Thompson, 65, of the residence, two suspects forced open the door of the apartment and began shooting. Thompson and Curtis Vernell Harrelson, 51, of Fairfax Drive in Burlington were inside the residence at the time and were taken to Moses Cone Hospital with gunshot wounds.

Police said they think an exchange of gunfire ensued after the suspects entered the apartment. They also said Stanback was one of the two men who broke into the apartment, but did not release the identity of the second man.

Long said that while searching the apartment, they found a “sellable amount” of cocaine, but could not confirm whether the shooting was drug-related.

A witness reported seeing a man getting into a gray Dodge Durango and leaving the apartment complex after the shooting.

About 12:25 p.m., Stanback was located in a gray Durango on Huffine Mill Road in Greensboro, and was suffering from a gunshot wound. Stanback was taken to Moses Cone Hospital and died a short time later, Greensboro police Capt. Brian Cheek said.

The Greensboro Police Department has assisted Burlington police in the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Burlington Police Department at 229-3500, or CrimeStoppers at 229-7100.
